Congratulations to 2010 alum Tim Hunter, now Associate Professor of Linguistics at UCLA. After writing his dissertation with Paul Pietroski, "Relating Movement and Adjunction in Syntax and Semantics," Tim went on to postdoctoral positions at Yale with Bob Frank and at Cornell with John Hale, and then an Assistant Professorship at Minnesota, before arriving at UCLA in 2016, to direct its computational linguistics curriculum.
